The Benefactor Dubsta 6x6 is an off-road pick-up truck featured in Grand Theft Auto V and Grand Theft Auto Online as part of The "I'm Not a Hipster" Update.
Design[]
Grand Theft Auto V and Online[]
The Dubsta 6x6 closely resembles the Mercedes-Benz G63 AMG 6x6, the 6x6 variant of the Mercedes-Benz G63. The vehicle may also draw some inspirations from the Mercedes-Benz G Class models modified by the aftermarket tuning company Brabus.
The vehicle is essentially an off-road variant of the Dubsta, where the chassis has been enlarged to accommodate the extra axle, and has a higher ground clearance to make way for the bigger off-road purpose tyres. The cabin features smaller rear quarter windows and compartment, while the rest of the car has a truck bed fitted with load bed roll bars as standard (albeit a smaller group). It is also equipped with skid plates at the front and rear.
Colour distribution is similar, where the primary one is applied to the body (while the stitching remains white) and the secondary one is applied on the front bumper, arches, bottom sides, roof, and rear bars. Its stock wheels share the same rim design as the off-road/Merryweather variant of the Mesa and the Sandking XL, sharing the rim design with the "Six Gun" muscle wheels available in Los Santos Customs.

Performance[]
Grand Theft Auto V and Online[]
As expected from a large 6-wheeled truck, the Dubsta 6x6 is exceptionally heavy, however it is a very stable vehicle. The Dubsta 6x6 retains the same engine model and sound used in the regular Dubsta. It is stated to be powered by a large supercharged V12 engine, however it is fitted with a modelled turbocharged straight-4, coupled to a 6-speed transmission, which is capable of powering the vehicle up steep slopes with relative ease. Just like the Seminole, Habanero and Huntley S, the Dubsta 6x6's engine features a modelled turbocharger. This is purely cosmetic and does not affect performance, unless the player purchases a Turbo modification at Los Santos Customs.
Its top speed and acceleration are quite impressive (being superior to all Off-Road classed vehicles), but handling leaves much to be desired, as it has a large turning radius due to its long wheelbase. It understeers when off-road and/or when at high speed. Braking is also sub par, with upgrades doing little to improve it.
Durability is excellent, as it is able to withstand many head-on collisions before the engine fails. The 6x6 can easily push smaller cars off the road and it can withstand large amounts of gunfire. Bulletproof tyres are highly recommended as for its handling not be hindered by gunfire from its large, exposed tyres. Heavy off-roading (frequent crashing into rocks) causes lots of minor visible damage and eventually the front suspension breaks, causing massive understeer. Furthermore, passengers riding on the truck bed are especially vulnerable to both gunfire and being thrown off the vehicle in an event of a rollover.
The Dubsta 6X6 can withstand a great amount of water depth; it can go as deep as its grille badge before the engine cuts off.

Trivia[]
Grand Theft Auto V and Online[]
- For some reason, the Dubsta 6x6 lacks a rear driveshaft.
- Before an update, only the rear two wheels would spin upon acceleration, this was fixed later on, however, the patch still only makes it 4-wheel drive, unlike its name suggests. All wheels will spin, if the vehicle is stuck on its bottom.
- A minor visual glitch is present on the Dubsta 6x6. If players riding in the bed aim their gun or turn their torsos a certain way, their bodies will clip through the rollbars as if they were not there. This is likely due to reused assets with vehicles such as the Bodhi and Bison.
- The lights on the front bullbar and the roof racks are non-functional.
- Because of the rank requirement, the vehicle cannot be used in off-road or SUV races unless the player has unlocked the vehicle.
- The release of the Cunning Stunts: Special Vehicle Circuit update now allows the Dubsta 6x6 to be selected in races for both the SUV and Off-road categories if the player does not own one, as the rank requirement has been removed.
- The artwork used in the GTA+ advertisement shows a green Dubsta 6x6 with a Yeti Mall Camo livery; however, the Dubsta 6x6 does not currently support liveries.
Oversights[]
Grand Theft Auto V and Online[]
- The steering column appears to be offset to the left compared to the steering wheel, also exposing part of the engine bay area. This issue is also present (albeit not as noticeable) in the Dubsta.
